Stress fractures heal with time and rest. Athletes are advised to rest from any activity that caused the stress fracture for the 6-14 weeks that the fractures take to heal (ask your doctor how long your particular fracture will probably take to heal), or until pain-free for 2-3 weeks.
Everyone's fracture is different, and everyone heals at different rates. In general, a fracture should be healed by about 8 weeks, and you should be back to normal within 12 weeks of a fracture. Your rehab should normally take about 6 to 8 weeks, but your program may be slightly shorter or longer.
